Hints of Christmas

There are hints of Christmas everywhere.  In the garden of our home/flat genuine holly berries are growing.

At the mall they are roasting chestnuts - a first for all of us! 

All round trees and lights adorn the streets.

Settling in to our new home

We are getting settled into our new place.  It's a very Swiss home - simple, functional, and on a big hill.  Today we reflected a bit and noticed... no matter what continent we are on AJ still enjoys setting a table and Myron loves to play WWII.

Oh... and the dishwasher works great! 

Although I am not sure we are feeding him enough... he loved this Swiss cucumber! 

Flight to Zurich

We made it on our flight... excited and ready for this adventure...

First we ate (and drank)...

 Then we tried to sleep... (yes, Myron is asleep upside down)

 For our layover in Lisbon Portugal we were tired but tried a local treat (a cream tart) and el cafe - um!

 We arrived tired but excited!

Switzerland 2020

We are back... starting our 2020 adventure!
12 bags
9 electronics
And 3 excited folks!
Switzerland here we come! (In about an hour)

Seattle

Mama had a conference in Seattle and we tagged along for a little fun… which turned into a lot of fun!

Pike’s Place market had frozen fish…

fish on stick…

and flying fish!

And don’t forget the view…

yummy mussels…

and gum… lots of gum!

Next stop the aquarium…

Later in the trip we did a little kayaking…

And the science museum…

Now that is a lot of chrysalis!

Myron loved giant chess!

Or maybe he just shrunk.

A play ground under the space needle is pure genius!

Next up… sailing!

Myron loved watching the sea planes take off and land.

And no trip to Seattle would be complete without a trip up the Space Needle

Boeing Flight Museum – Myron was in plane heaven!
